After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Brother, this must be your first day playing with this stuff, right?"

Hu Sanjiang burst into laughter as he walked into the room, his piece of stone requiring two professionals to carry it in.

"I can give you a chance to go outside and pick out a new piece yourself."

But Chen Yu seemed unconcerned, directly handing his stone over to a staff member nearby.

"It's okay, a hundred million is nothing to me; consider it a welcome gift from me to you."

Hu Sanjiang barely suppressed his laughter, "Then I won't be polite."

As he was about to grab the promissory note on the table, he was stopped by Chen Yu's hand.

"But what if I win by chance?"

Hu Sanjiang's face slightly changed, as the aura emanating from Chen Yu at that moment was that of someone commanding heaven and earth, as if he was certain of winning.

This inexplicable feeling made Hu Sanjiang shiver inwardly.

"According to the rules of the jade industry, since you've put forward a hundred million in chips, naturally, I'll also put forward the same amount."

Hu Sanjiang did not hesitate to take out a proof of assets from his body.

"I don't carry that much money on me; this is my winery in Suzhou City, valued at one hundred million, and I'll use it as my betting chip."

Chen Yu said no more, simply leaning back and waiting quietly.

There were two stone-cutting masters in the room, there specifically to serve their VIP clients.

The two masters were extremely skilled, and before long, they had both stones opened up simultaneously.

However, the expression on the faces of the two masters seemed odd.

They didn't immediately bring out the stones but were discussing something.

"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and bring out the stones."

Hu Sanjiang was obviously impatient, shouting a command and walking over himself.

The two masters dared not delay and quickly brought out both people's stones, but when the two stones were placed on the ground, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment.

The staff members nearby even began to question their life choices.

Hu Sanjiang's stone was indeed of good quality, but that was only on the surface; what was revealed inside was merely ordinary jadeite.

On the other hand, Chen Yu's piece was full of blood-red color.

Although his stone was smaller, the price of red jade was much higher than that of jadeite, many times over. Even considering the size of the other stone, the overall value still didn't measure up to that of the red jade.

Chen Yu seemed to have known the outcome all along, picking up his teacup and taking a leisurely sip.

"Boss Hu, it looks like I've won. I'll gladly accept your winery."

Hu Sanjiang's breathing suddenly became rapid; he seldom misjudged, and he had never lost before.

Yet today, he had suffered such a crushing defeat.

Chen Yu did not look like an expert at all; the stone he selected was too ordinary, even verging on being considered waste material.

Anyone experienced could tell that this thing couldn't produce a decent jade, it's practically a worthless rock.

But now, to everyone's surprise, such a precious red jade had been excavated.

Hu Sanjiang hurriedly turned around to secure his proof of assets.

"Brother, I admit defeat in this round. You can have the winery, but could you wait a moment?"

It was all the same to Chen Yu; his goal was to play a few games with Hu Sanjiang and preferably make him lose everything he owned.

"Okay, I just don't know how exactly Mr. Hu wants to play."

Hu Sanjiang gasped heavily and pointed toward the pile of stones outside.

"How about this, we sit here and observe that pile of stones, and each person picks out two pieces to see whose stone turns out to be more valuable."

Chen Yu's mouth curled into a strange arc as he leaned back in his chair, casually pointing to two pieces.

Hu Sanjiang couldn't afford to be negligent, he picked up the binoculars next to him and looked again and again, then he took out a magnifying glass and placed it on top of the binoculars.

After watching for a good ten minutes, he finally chose two pieces hesitantly.

The staff didn't dare delay, and hurriedly brought in all four stones.

Hu Sanjiang's palms were already soaked with sweat; he didn't know if he could turn defeat into victory this time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"By the way, Mr. Hu, you seem not to have taken out your chips yet?"

The promissory notes and proof of assets laid out on the table were already the chips Chen Yu had put forward.

With a look of resignation, Hu Sanjiang exhaled and took out another proof of assets from his person.

It must be said that this guy really carried proof of assets with him, just like that he had whipped out three billion.

Chen Yu didn't say much more, just sitting there drinking tea.

It wasn't long before the master stonesmith pushed the four pieces of stone out.

"Mr. Hu, the two stones you picked are indeed not bad, one of them turned out to be ice-type jadeite, and the other, though it's of a glutinous type, is violet."

Hu Sanjiang suddenly got excited and went to inspect immediately, but as he got closer, his face darkened once again.

His two pieces of stone were indeed of high value, but the stones Chen Yu had picked took him by complete surprise.

The two stones shone with a translucent purity, radiating pure white light.

They turned out to be pure glass-type jadeite.

In this place, it's already incredible to occasionally find a piece of glass-type jadeite, and now two pieces had been found at the same time, both by the same person.

Hu Sanjiang's body suddenly felt unstable, and he nearly fell to the ground; he really hadn't expected such a result.

The value of Chen Yu's two stones, even taken individually, was much higher than the combined value of his own two pieces.

"Mr. Hu, I truly didn't expect you to be so generous, to give me three billion just like that. How about we have another go, betting all of our properties?"

Chen Yu's tone was extremely calm, but the contempt in his words was very obvious.

Hu Sanjiang hurriedly ran to Chen Yu's side.

"Brother, you're not new to jade, are you? Who exactly are you?"

Chen Yu put down his teacup, eying Hu Sanjiang with a strange look.

"My name is Chen Yu, and lately, Mr. Hu, it seems you've been constantly looking for trouble with me, haven't you? How come you don't even have a picture of me?"

Hu Sanjiang's body trembled violently; he had never dreamed that the man before him was Chen Yu.

He had heard the legends about Chen Yu before, but to him, they were just that—legends.

No matter how he had started from scratch and accumulated assets worth billions, he was just an ordinary person who could be bankrupted with just a little scheming.

But now, after only playing with stones twice, he had lost three billion to Chen Yu on the spot.

If this continued, it wasn't impossible for him to be completely ruined.

"So it's Mr. Chen, I've been disrespectful! I had thought you only dominated the catering industry, but I didn't expect you to be so impressive with raw stones too."
